Bynum only Patriot honored by league

One month after the season ended, the Atlantic League announced its annual awards and second baseman Freddie Bynum was the only representative from the Patriots, who struggled through a second straight losing season.

Bynum, who was named a Second-Team All-Star, hit. 276 with 24 doubles, six triples and two home runs in 112 games. The former major-leaguer scored 58 runs and added 43 RBI and and 26 stolen bases before leaving the team in the final week of the season for “personal reasons.”

As expected, the awards list is littered with Lancaster Barnstormers after the team enjoyed the winningest regular season in Atlantic League history but fell one win short of a championship. Click below for the complete list.
